Due to the President’s Executive Order on Reevaluating and Realigning United States Foreign Aid, the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) directed Refugee Welcome Collective to immediately suspend work as of January 24, 2025. In compliance with this directive, all RWC offerings funded by PRM, such as Lunch and Learn webinars and Sounding Board social learning spaces, are canceled until further notice. Technical assistance booking is also unavailable at this time.

Cultural Orientation Toolkit for Community Partners and Sponsors

Created by the Cultural Orientation Resource Exchange (CORE), the Cultural Orientation Toolkit for Community Partners and Sponsors teaches sponsors how to incorporate key Cultural Orientation messages while providing direct resettlement services to newcomers during their first 90 days.

The toolkit provides guidance on how to incorporate Cultural Orientation messages into 25 early resettlement services. Integrating Cultural Orientation throughout the service period will help newcomers retain the information that is essential to adapt to their new lives and achieve self-sufficiency.  For more information, watch CORE’s webinar introducing the toolkit.
